Jordan agama lizard id help (1 Viewer)

Hello,
I tipically post about birds and know very little about reptiles, but on my trip to Jordan found this nice one in Wadi Rum and I'm a bit curious about what it is.
I have a field guide to Jordan with the more common fauna and the closest I found in there is the Stellagama (Stellagama stellio). Is this the correct ID?

Thanks in advance.
Luis

Thanks.
There were some nice lizards in there, I also saw the beautiful blue Sinai Agama and a few others that I still have to ID.

As for the guide, it is from 2010. But I think I checked the common name in there and then probably got the scientific name from Wikipedia. Will check in the guide when back home

Cheers
Luis
